Quantum Mechanics by Griffiths Theory : careful math and careful reasoning Modern Physics by OHanian Applications: more numerical than theoretical

Links between QM and Modern From Tom Moore’s Unit Q

How can we describe a system and predict its evolution? Classical mechanics: Force completely describes a system: Use F=ma = m dp/dt to find x(t) and v(t). Quantum mechanics: Wavefunction  completely describes a QM system

Review of Modern physics basics Energy and momentum of light: Can construct a differential operator for momentum (more careful derivation in a few weeks)

Planck constant h = 6.63 x J.s Invented by Planck (1900) to phenomenologically explain blackbody radiation Planck derived h from first principles a few weeks later, treating photons as quantized in a radiating cavity Fundamental unit of quantization, angular momentum units Used by Einstein to explain photoelectric effect (1905) and Bohr to derive H atom model (1912)

Schroedinger eqn. = Energy conservation E = T + V E  = T  + V  where  is the wavefunction and energy operators depend on x, t, and momentum: Solve the Schroedinger eqn. to find the wavefunction, and you know *everything* possible about your QM system.

Wave function and probability Probability that a measurement of the system will yield a result between x1 and x2 is

Measurement collapses the wave function This does not mean that the system was at X before the measurement - it is not meaningful to say it was localized at all before the measurement. Immediately after the measurement, the system is still at X. Time-dependent Schroedinger eqn describes evolution of  after a measurement.

Exercises in probability: qualitative

Exercises in probability: quantitative 1. Probability that an individual selected at random has age=15? 2. Most probably age? 3. Median? 4. Average = expectation value of repeated measurements of many identically prepared system: 5. Average of squares of ages = 6. Standard deviation  will give us uncertainty principle...

Exercises in probability: uncertainty Standard deviation  can be found from the deviation from the average: But the average deviation vanishes: So calculate the average of the square of the deviation: Homework (p.8): show that it is valid to calculate  more easily by: 1.1 Find these quantities for the exercise above.

Expectation values Most likely outcome of a measurement of position, for a system (or particle) in state  :

Uncertainty principle Position is well-defined for a pulse with ill-defined wavelength. Spread in position measurements =  x Momentum is well-defined for a wave with precise . By its nature, a wave is not localized in space. Spread in momentum measurements =  p We will show that
